My Drug Theory

I don't think anyone should see drug use as a matter of right or wrong. Bluelighters are better than that.

Drugs are tools. All of them.

Drugs are weapons. They are powerful ones.
Methamphetamine made world war II a completely different ballgame with super soldiers.
Steroids make individuals more aggressive, more competitive and stronger in every way physically.
Opiates null pain and improve working conditions.
GABAergics can be used to induce deep sleep and improve anxiety issues.

Yet we live in a society where the human race is faced with difficulty using these tools. Our minds are not yet developed enough to fully utilize them to their full potential. So many people struggle with addiction. Dopamine is more important than life itself.

The same reason the lab rat in drug addiction tests returns to the water containing the heroin or the meth. People are not capable of making a fully logical decision above a certain threshold of pleasure and pain.

We are both cursed and blessed to have these compounds still capable of being used. They are a road block in our evolution, but yet they can also be used to speed up and alter our progression. The FDA may not approve them, however if you still choose to use them, that only signifies that you trust the faith of your own scientific knowledge over that of the government's.

My theory is to look at Prisons. They are full to the brim and overflowing with people who have dedicated their lives to drugs. The US has the highest amount of people using psychoactive substances, it also has the highest prison population per capita. Prisons are quite literally a means of eliminating the genes containing drug addict behavior. Because we are all just representations of a genetic code.

I can assure you that most all things drug related is white and black. Horrible and wonderful, which makes a drug user's life such a confusing mess of highs and lows.
 
You have much experience working with folks in prisons? Yea, there is a LOT of drugs in there, but it's only shocking because people think they this would or should be the place there are fewer drugs. I do not hesitate in the least to mention that your ideas correlating drug use per capita with growth of prisons population is deeply, deeply flawed. The premise that because more people use drugs there has been a growth in prison populations, cause and effect sort of linear relationship, is, well, more than wrong - it's legitimizing a system that is draconian at best.

Maybe I'm just really, really confused. Maybe this is all a joke and I forgot to get off the bus at the right stop. Sometimes I feel like I'm dyslexic, as its so striking how completely bonkers some of the things people say and honestly believe. But I digress...
